“Plus or Minus Two
Percent” is the story of a quest for truth, and the inadvertent backfiring of
that endeavor, which changes the life of an honest and relatively average young
man, and traps him in a lifetime of subterfuge.
James Demetrian never imagined that entering the working world as a
professional, while pursuing a love interest, would simultaneously place him in
a lifelong position of supporting a secret organization whose clandestine
international missions would ultimately divulge to him the truth behind complex
world events such as the collapse of the World Trade
Center
Demetrian came
from a solid family, had a childhood that instilled virtues of honesty,
integrity, and humility, and his personal foundation would lead him to covet a
life filled with love and happiness. He
often drew inner strength from his provenance, and in spite of tumultuous
events that nearly shattered his resolve, his core beliefs would prove to keep
him from succumbing to unimaginable emotional and psychological pressure.
Receiving an
engineering degree and moving to Texas
No alternatives
were available that were not fraught with danger and almost certain death. Engineering analysis, quantitative skills,
diligence, and common sense were not enough to prevent his involvement in a
financing scheme for the organization that used standard energy industry
practices and associated loopholes to fund their entire operation.
Demetrian eventually acquiesces for his own
safety and his family’s, and plans the rest of their existence around his
compulsory compliance. He ultimately learns
that his seemingly accidental selection into this subversive situation, may not
have been a matter of chance.
